Is there any betting value on Minnesota on Tuesday night considering they are listed at -172 favorites. Perhaps a better question to ask is if there’s any way to justify taking Montreal in this contest as the XCel Energy Center has traditionally been one of the toughest places for a road team to get a win. The teams are surging in different directions – and it’s not the ways that the moneyline would indicate.
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal is having a solid year, currently sitting in 6th place in the Eastern Conference. It’s hard to figure out why they are such huge underdogs on Tuesday considering the Canadiens have put together a three game win streak and have won 4 of 5. Then again those victories came against the Rangers, Senators (twice), and Blackhawks so maybe the numbers aren’t as impressive as they look.

That’s the big question tonight, if Montreal is for real or if their hot streak is an indication of the opposition. They do have 5+ goals in 3 of the last 5 so that’s optimistic. Carey Price will try to limit the Wild tonight which he should be able to do after allowing 2 goals or less in 5 of 6 games.
Minnesota Wild
The Wild are hefty favorites tonight despite being in a bit of a downhill turn. Minnesota has dropped 5 of 6 including a devastating home loss to Arizona as -200 favorites. Minnesota is in the top half of the league on both offense and defense but it hasn’t translated into wins lately. The Wild are 10th in the West right now so they better turn things around quickly.

Normally Devan Dubnyk in net would be a good bet for Minnesota but he’s dropped 5 of his last 6 decisions. Dubnyk allowed four goals in four straight games during that stretch and in his last outing vs. Edmonton he gave up 3 goals on just 6 shots before being pulled. Confidence could be low in net in St. Paul
NHL Betting Trends:
- Canadiens are 4-1 their last 5
- Wild are 1-5 their last 6 overall
- Wild are 14-6 in their last 20 on 3+ days rest
- Canadiens are 0-5 the last 5 in Minnesota
Free Montreal Canadiens vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction:
The Canadiens would be a solid wager tonight considering their recent winning ways but there’s a reason Minnesota is such a big favorite Tuesday. Montreal played in Chicago on Sunday whereas the Wild are well rested after last playing on Friday.

The Wild get a dominating performance from Dubnyk and find their legs on offense for a big scoring night.
